I wonder if he'll be more like his old self after this like cartoon amnesia

[-] rigatti@lemmy.world 38 points 4 months ago

Unless a bruised shoulder treated by frozen peas is severe enough to indicate amnesia, I doubt it.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

What old self? I keep hearing people say this, but I don't think they were paying attention to who he was before. This is who he is. He was always at best a neoliberal. He's a man who represents a State aptly described as Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with Alabama in between.

[-] CptEnder@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

He literally ran on the same progressive talking points as Sanders/AOC. I don't care if "this was always him" either way I'd be pissed if I voted for him.

Praying that this somehow glitches him back to the one politician I was actually hyped for back whan

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

The problem with people who claim to to want change. Who claim they want to drain the swamp that once they are floating on top of it like rest of the scum they only see an opportunity to get what they want.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I mean, he was already a mayor.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

As a mayor he is just that fuzzy scum you can vaguely see growing on the roots of the plants through the murky waters.

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 48 points 4 months ago

Let's keep hitting him in the head till his politics improve.

It is likely he was at fault.

Sen. John Fetterman was briefly hospitalized after rear-ending another driver on a Maryland highway

This article says that too, you didn’t need to link to NYPost lol

Damn Gritty, you work fast.

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

What final destination sequel is this dude living in?

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Well he seems to survive every time so... Penultimate destination?

See, your mistake was driving in Maryland. It's Mad Max out here.

[-] nicgentile@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

This. For the past 3 months I've been driving down the 95 at dawn. Around 5.30 AM it's every person for themselves. Around this time, people casually cruise at 80mph. The person forcing you to move from the overtaking lane while your car is breaking a sweat at 85mph is an unmarked cop car trying to get to wherever faster than you are. Cops drive far worse here. It's the one place PG cops just let shit slide. You don't bring your nonsense to the 95 at dawn.

[-] weker01@feddit.de 12 points 4 months ago

I'm not from the US but I get a lot of drive by news from over there and every time I hear of Fetterman it's in the context of some medical thing. Be it depression, stroke and now this. I don't know shit about his political stances but I think he deserves a break!

Btw his last name looks like "fetter Mann" which in German literally means fat man, which sounds kinda rude :/

[-] cristo@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

This guy just cant catch a break

[-] demizerone@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

If homeboy is so brain damaged he turned Republican, he probably shouldn't be driving.

[-] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Maybe it'll bring him back online? Of course that would invalidate the running theory that Republicans are caused by brain damage. I feel horrible that Giselle was involved, she's been through hell and back with his ever-changing personality basically discounting her lived experience with immigration and now this....

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
